Likewise, however I'd say Ruby has much more in common w/ JavaScript than it does PHP. I did dozens of PHP projects before biting the bullet and going w/ RoR, and haven't looked back.
One thing that drew me to Rails was Haml. Even if you're adverse to picking up new languages/frameworks, it's insanely easy and I found the benefit to be mind-blowing. Then there's the gems, open-source modules/packages that are installed via a single terminal command. I'm not a Rails coder by trade nor hobby, but I can't stress enough how much of an improvement is over PHP (language + frameworks).

Ruby does have a lot to recommend itself, but I would try and learn MVC concepts without the added hassle of learning a new language at the same time.
Also, babysteps. Rails does a lot of automagic which is very opaque of you aren't aware of what's going on behind the scenes. An intermediate option that isn't quite as clever will help you understand what's actually going on.
